Ne Plus Ultra is
a discussion board which bills itself as
an exclusive, invitation-only forum for highly intelligent, creative
people. Unfortunately, when I was there, it was neither intelligent
nor creative enough to cope with profound spiritual issues. Amid much frenzy, I was charged with promoting
socially-unacceptable ideas and browbeating a 19-year-old woman. I
lasted just over three weeks.

The incident was interesting on a number of levels,
particularly as it yielded some deep insights into the psychology of
academic intellectuals with high IQs – that is to say, of MENSA
types. Sadly, they quickly closed the forum to outsiders in
the aftermath of kicking me off and are now hiding behind closed
doors. Only registered members can have access and judge for
themselves what really went on. However, I have managed to obtain a
copy of the incident and can present it here in its entirety.

I have also written an essay which analyses the
psychology of the academic intellectual, using the incident at Ne
Plus Ultra as a reference point.
